i have read alotta pple saying that mounting a brass T directly on the block in place of the stock oil pressure sender for gauges or turbo or watever is not a good idea because of the block vibrating and causing the T or block to crack

does the greddy kit say to mount the T directly on the block for the oil feed line? if so, have any people with this kit who have installed it this way experience any problems? i just wanna plan out whether i'm gonna need to run a line off of the oil pressure sender and then T it afterwards, or just wait for the kit and T right off the block. thanks

i have installed it, no problem at all.... 7 months already

and my friends never had a problem

that part is the most PAIN in the ***, it's hard to get your eyes on it and hands at the same time... u need to FEEL it.. hehehehehe

because it's just a sensor, it's only some wires connecting it out
u need to rub off that rubber that cover the sensor, then i am not sure if u need a wrench, i forgot, check out http://www.turbocivic.net, he tells u everything
then just put some teflon tape around the T, T that into the block, one side for the sensor, one side for the oil feed line for turbo

i am not sure if this is the answer u want, but that's the bes ti can give u

good luck

it's very easy, the turbo install, trust me, all u need to worry is rusted bolts
and get a torque wrench for your oil pan bolts and ur exhaust manifold
but u won't be able to use a torque on some of the bolts for the exhaust manifold, u will need to FEEL it again

let us know how it goes

The T that comes with the kit works fine. As Xbird said, this part of the install is a pain in the ***. That's why you just need to take your time on it and do it right the first time. It's a good arm workout

yeah, good arm workout ! that'sthe word !!

take ur time, don't rush, u don'twant to make mistake !!

if you guys have a D16Z6, maybe u will experience some problems

my turbo is hitting with the oilstick, but i just push the turbo it a bit, it's fine
but it does make a nosie, i think

yea i already got the stock sensor out when i installed my oil pressure gauge. right now i have just a 1/8 fitting running off the block to tubing that runs to the sender. i'll just put the T in front of this when i get the turbo

the rubber boot on the stock sender was a bitch to get off. took me like 30-45 minutes to get that damn thing off. i thought it was like stuck on or something. my friend with a gsr said it also took him really long to get off. to make matter worse, i didnt hae the right size wrench or deep socket so i had to use a big old adjustable wrench up there. things sure get heavy when ur under the car and holding ur arms up for so long

thanks for the help guys

good job and good luck
